Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-07-10 08:03:17 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nvmem: zynqmp_nvmem: unbreak driver after cleanup

Commit 29be47fcd6a0 ("nvmem: zynqmp_nvmem: zynqmp_nvmem_probe cleanup")
changed the driver to expect the device pointer to be passed as the
"context", but in nvmem the context parameter comes from nvmem_config.priv
which is never set - Leading to null pointer exceptions when the device is
accessed.
